Today's blog is about a very funny, witty commercial, that got it's point across without much dialog or interaction. The commercial fallows a little boy dressed up as Darth Vader desperately trying to use the Force. There is very little interaction between the different genders in this commercial but the characters of the mother and father still play a big role. It has always been normal for the father to go to work and the mother to stay home with the children. This is evident in this commercial. But is it an adequate representation of a 21st century family?, it is hard to say. Now a day's thing are much different. It is not like the old days were the father works from sun up to sun down and the wife stays home with the children. Based on data from 1998, both spouses were employed at least part time in 51 percent of married couples with children, compared with 33 percent in 1976., things are not like they used to be. But in the other hand many families still fallow this old school way of living, it is kind of like a tradition, and it is very apparent in this commercial with the mother making her son a sandwich and the father coming home from work.
Darth Vader is unforgettable character from a classic American movie. The Star Wars pictures are movies that are going to live on for many generations to come. Movies like that are rare. Although these movies are about thirty years old, they still play them on a regular basis on cable. They are memorabilia and clothing that you can still find in any mall, all over the United States. Not to mention that parents who are huge fans of the George Lucas movies, can't wait for their kids to get old enough so that they can watch the movies together. Star Wars is going to live on forever.
